Well, he didnt want to spend that much or just doesnt want to. but its going to just be for he can do some work at home and get on the net cuz the comp he has is slow and its like 5-6 years old he told me it cant run the net fast and for his kids to do homework so he picked the Pentium D 805 cuz it was 95 bucks so heres the sutff i plan on showing him

donno about a good mobo for you but you prob wont really need a vid card unless his kids are into playing games. I believe sp2 is like a patch type thing, well yeah I think my computer dled it for free so you should be fine there.

well a cheap card just for the screen or if theres a cheap mobo with Onboard Video

You should put as much memory in it as possible for one thing, because those types of people install all sorts of crap(4 gigs)/At least put a X1300 in it or the Nvidia ver, for things like Google earth and so on. I would also put in the low grade core due because it will last longer.

$95 is a great price on a cpu but the core duo e6300 overclocks very well on the ds-3 motherboard also that motherboard has nice on board sound to go with those logitech speakers and prob good onboard grafics (he might not really need a grafics card if its just for work/homework/microsoft word elc.)

5/6years, thats a long time, and they will do it again.

so which kind of ram is good and cheap for 4 gigs so what do you mean low grade core from the PD's cuz this is the the lowest one from the PD's

should get a mother board that will do conroe later a mistake I just made if I would have spent a little more a simple upgrade later would be nicer than the whole board. but you know when a got a hyper threading 478 a few years ago it was supposed to be good for 2 years and that was bs sooo.... dont listen to me
